[ncl-talk] unable to open multiple files

Note what I suggested

      trmm_files    = systemfunc("ls 3B42_daily.20*.nc")

I did *not* use

     trmm_files    = systemfunc("ls -l 3B42_daily.20*.nc")

the '-l' returns much more information than just the file names.

Had you informed ncl-talk that you wanted data for 2011 and the file names are

3B42_daily.2011.04.22.7.nc  3B42_daily.2014.06.05.7.nc
3B42_daily.2013.05.22.7.nc  3B42_daily.2015.04.23.7.nc
3B42_daily.2014.06.02.7.nc

Then

    trmm_files    = systemfunc("ls 3B42_daily.2011*.nc")

 would have been suggested. Note: no  '-l'

I did *not* use
     nfiles        = ListCount(trmm)
but this should return the same as
     nfiles = dimsizes(trmm_files)

re:  "In the printVarSummary, I dont get the time info of each file...."

trmm_rf2011   = trmm[0]->r
                  printVarSummary(trmm_rf2011)
  trmm_rf2013   = trmm[1]->r
                  printVarSummary(trmm_rf2013)
  trmm_rf2014a  = trmm[2]->r
                  printVarSummary(trmm_rf2014a)
  trmm_rf2014b  = trmm[3]->r
                  printVarSummary(trmm_rf2014b)
  trmm_rf2015   = trmm[4]->r
                  printVarSummary(trmm_rf2015)


Since you did not include any output from 'printVarSummary', how is
ncl-talk supposed to answer the question.
